Sylvia Center to Ring The Nasdaq Stock Market Closing Bell

ADVISORY, Aug. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What:

The Sylvia Center, a culinary, youth education non-profit operating in New York City and Katchkie Farm in Kinderhook, NY, focused on teaching children, teens and families how to establish healthy eating habits, will visit the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square.

In honor of the occasion, Whitney Reuling, Program Manager will ring the Closing Bell.

The mission of The Sylvia Center is to inspire young people and their families to eat well through hands-on learning experiences on the farm and in the kitchen.

We teach skills that inspire our students to establish independent healthy eating habits — so that they may lead healthy and productive lives.
